Abstract:
This article looks at a bilingual youth consumer education program for Soviet immigrants. The author states that the bi-lingual component in the program was seen as an essential ingredient for learning in both social and individual concerns. Comfort with one's language provides a model for less anxiety and becomes a haven to be turned to in a society that often feels new and strange and that sometimes denigrates plurality and underscores homogenization.
